Let me tell you this ...
It was my first year in college.
(in belgium most students rent a room in the city instead of going to a dorm.)
My room is situated very close to the center of town where all the partying is at. :)
Nextdoor there is a tibetan nightshop called "everest", the guy behind the counter is a really nice man,
he reminds me of Apu from the simpsons...
Since he owns a nightshop, he allways sees me 'n my buddies come home after parties,
sometimes we even stop by him in the store for some beers and a chat, hes a really chill guy!
Now this one time we came home after a party at around 4o clock and we see that the nightshop is closed,
the lights were out but the door was standing open,
me'n my buddies approach the shop to see whats going on.
I enter the open door and flip on the light switch, right in front of me stands this crazy tibetan lady with some sort of drum in her hands and tattoos on her face and wooden sticks through her nose and ears . Offcourse she scares the living shit out of me, i run out of the store back to my friends and wait some feet away from the door opening.
A bit later the crazy women comes outside shouting in tibetan, banging her drum and making some sort of dance,
she jumps around us shouting in tibetan.
Then she goes nextdoor, to where i live and she stands i front of my mailbox.
In some sort of trance shes staring at my mailbox for what seemed like ages.
I just wanted to go to sleep and get this crazy lady away before she attacked one of us, so i step to the mailbox and i rattle the lid.
That scared the living fuck out of the lady, she runs as fast away as she can and hides behind me friends.
Then i keep rattling the mailbox to make clear to her she doesnt need to be scared, she approaches me again and touches the mailbox.
Now that shes confident the mailbox wont eat her, she rattles the lid herself which feeds her idea that my mailbox must be some sort of religious beacon to the afterlife.
She continues her worship right in front of my door, we try to talk her away but she just aint listening.
one of my friends gives her a soft push to get her out of the way.
The lady freaks out completely and runs inside the shop and comes back with a bottle of champagne for us, just to get us away...
We kindly accept the offer since we're still in party mode.
We crack open the bottle and sit next to her while shes praying, shes completely ignoring us and we just got free booze !
after we finished the bottle we all just decided to ge to bed, i open my door and go to sleep.
the lady is still worshipping my mailbox...
I slept till about noon and had one of the worst hangovers ever.
I had to get to class by 2o clock, so i quickly eat a sandwich, take a shower and pack my bags and leave for class.
i open the door and right in front of my door theres a burnmark about the size of a human body!
Now i remember the crazy lady! WTF happened here!?
I had a class to catch so i jump on my bike and ride away...
later that day, i come back home and the tibetan guy from nextdoor is scrubbing away the burnmarks on the sidewalk.
i ask him what happened and he just answered it was his crazy wife, on a tone like: "dont ask!"
so i decide to just leave it for what it was...
We never knew what happened that night....
